Weng Zesheng, who studied at Jimei Middle School
Weng Zesheng (1903-1939), male, from Taipei, originally from Tong'an, Fujian. In 1921, he joined the Taiwan Cultural Association. He graduated from Xiamen Jimei Middle School in 1924, was admitted to Xiamen University in the same year, and transferred to Shanghai University in 1925. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1925 and served as a member of the Minnan Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. In 1928, he participated in the formation of the Communist Party of Taiwan. In 1932, he became the secretary general of the party group of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Arrested in 1933 for betrayal by traitors, he was extradited to Taiwan and sentenced. He died in Taiwan in 1939. In 1975, he was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr by the Communist Party of China.
As early as his adolescence, Weng Zesheng actively participated in and organized a series of anti-Japanese patriotic activities in Taiwan, including the "Taiping Public School Incident". In 1921, he joined the Taiwan Cultural Association, a Taiwan anti-Japanese progressive group. In order to resist colonial education, his father sent Weng Zesheng to Jimei Middle School in Xiamen to study and accept Marxist and socialist ideas. During his return to Taiwan after graduation, Weng Zesheng became one of the earliest socialist propagandists in Taiwan.
In 1925, Weng Zesheng transferred to Shanghai University, actively participated in the "May Thirtieth Movement" against imperialism, and took the initiative to return to Taiwan to publicize the "May Thirtieth Movement". Weng Zesheng's propaganda of the motherland's anti-imperialist revolutionary struggle in Taiwan had a positive impact on the anti-Japanese activities carried out by the Taiwan people, and the Japanese colonial authorities wanted Weng Zesheng for the crime of "propagating communism." In July 1925, Weng Zesheng joined the Communist Party of China through the introduction of Qu Qiubai. In 1927, Weng Zesheng was assigned to Zhangzhou and Xiamen to establish local organizations of the Communist Party, and was elected as a member of the Minnan Special Committee of the Communist Party of China to develop Communist Party members, create party and group organizations, guide the student movement and the workers' movement, and establish the Workers' and Peasants' Movement Training Institute. In April 1928, when the Communist Party of Taiwan was founded, Weng Zesheng was one of the founders and was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee, staying in Shanghai to take charge of the liaison work between the "Taiwan Communist Party" and the CPC Central Committee, during which Weng Zesheng was arrested by the authorities for "propaganda communism" in organizing and leading the "August 1st" anti-war struggle, sentenced to one year in prison, and was released in December 1929 after being rescued by the organization. In 1931, Weng Zesheng went to Liangguang as a central inspector. In the second half of 1932, Weng Zesheng was transferred from Guangzhou to Shanghai, serving as the secretary general of the all-China Federation of Trade Unions, together with Chen Yun, Liao Chengzhi and others to guide the struggle of workers in various places, and became an important activist of the Chinese workers' movement.
On March 4, 1933, Weng Zesheng was arrested in Shanghai for betrayal by traitors. Weng Zesheng held the core secrets of the party, and after his arrest, the party's institutions were not destroyed, and Liao Chengzhi, who had secret contacts with him, was safe and sound. Weng Zesheng was later taken to the Japanese Prison in Taipei. During his 6 years in prison, he remained unyielding in the face of the Japanese Kou's torture and coercion, defending the party's organizational secrets with his life, and sternly refusing to write any "confessions" or statements "turning".
Suffering from inhuman torture for a long time, Weng Zesheng's tuberculosis seriously worsened, and he was released on parole to seek medical treatment. He was granted medical parole on 1 March 1939, by which time he was dying and died on 19 March at the age of 36.
Weng Zesheng was recognized by the people of Taiwan as "a true patriot with backbone," and his comrades-in-arms Chen Yun and Liao Chengzhi both praised "his persistence in the noble integrity of a Communist Party member until his death." In 1975, he was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr.
